Crusading for cutie marks and crusading for religion ok so what I don't get is how you got this Templars were soilders of god and spilt blood only for god they killed anyone who did not believe in there religion that's why most of the crusades took place in the Middle East because they don't believe in god they thought who ever does not believe in god they are the scum of the earth and should be wiped out so I do not know haw this story came but good job on it

Excellent story! I loved both of the endings and prologues, But I must say I thought that when I saw the 2nd Ending's title I was all like, 'NOOO! THE CRUSADERS ARE GONNA DIE!'. Then I read it, and I was all like 'Yay!' and when I read the Epilouge I was like 'YAAAY! IMA REVIEW DIS STORY!' And I' doing that right now.

CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS MAIN CHARACTERS OF ONE OF LOWRIDER'S STORIES! YAY!

*ahem*

So far, great story! I especially enjoyed your characterization of Zecora (coming up with rhyme-speak was fun, wasn't it?) and tha background ponies - particularly DJ P0N-3. I can't wait for more CMC escapades, and I'm full of suspense over the Mysterious Voice at Pinkie's house. I also LOLd at Apple Bloom and the hat. :D

As always, your stories are engrossing and enthralling.

As always, your characterizations of the ponies are spot on.

This, combined with your easygoing style, makes the story flow well and makes picturing the scenes you describe incredibly easy.

Since I preread this story I already know where this is going but, even so, I am enjoying the second readthrough. As always, it's a pleasure to read your stuff.

Hey, this is good! Sleeping Scootaloo was adorable. Your Zecora was top notch (nice rhymes)! In general, you have a taste for dialog and characterization, and I'm eager to read more. A couple of nits - I can't imagine that the "Colts Templar" could exist in FIM, because this is a non-gender role society. It would really help ME at least get into the story if you changed the name to something non male specific. Also, who on earth would ponies crusade against, since that suggests a religious conflict, and the ponies have no religion (they don't worship Celestia, and even if they did, it wouldn't be based on faith - she's obviously real)? (Then again, the Cutie Mark Crusaders are "crusading" for their Cutie Marks," so ...). Second, I think the idea of a holy relic related to Celestia is hilarious, because if you wanted to do research on it you wouldn't have to look in the library, you'd just trot on over to Canterlot. "Hey Princess, you know anything about a Holy Oat Pail?" "Oh, that old thing? It's in the back of my closet next to my baby book and my bronzed first set of horseshoes." Hehe. Anyway, this should be a fun little adventure, and I'm looking forward to the installment. Tally-ho Crusaders!
